Liu Mai's first reaction was to close the door quickly, and then turned to ask his son, "Where did you get it?!"

In fact, Liu Mai felt that it was unnecessary for him to ask this question. Where else could he get this? It looked like the radio in the third room!

Liu Mai pinched his son hard and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and give it back to me now! Are you going to make me mad?!"

"It hurts!" Shi Jin rubbed his arm, "Am I so worthless in your mind? I didn't steal!"

"I didn't steal it. Where did this come from? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Liu Mai was almost mad at her son! She could accept his son being lazy, greedy, or even stupid, but she would never allow him to steal things.

"I really didn't, I really didn't steal this! This was given to me by Shi Dong!"

When Shi Jin said this, Liu Mai didn't even put a punctuation mark, "Do you think I will believe it? Ah? He gave you the radio for no reason. Even if he is willing, can your third aunt agree?"

"Really! Why did I lie to you?"

Seeing Shi Jin's vow, it seemed like she didn't believe it and so she pulled Shi Dong to confront him.

Liu Mai then suppressed his anger and looked at him suspiciously, "Really? Then what are you hiding when you see me coming in?"

Shi Jin carefully wiped off the dirt on the radio, "This is not because you have a bad relationship with my third aunt. I was afraid that you would be more angry when you saw it, so I wanted to hide it first."

Really fake...

It's quite similar to what he said.

The balance in Liu Mai's heart gradually shifted to his son's side. As he said, if it was stolen, his son would not tell such an obvious lie. After all, this kind of thing would be obvious once it is explained, otherwise the third room would directly

If you say your radio was stolen, then you will know whether it is true or not.

So it seems that Shi Dong really gave it to his son.

Shi Dong can agree, but Li Mei can also agree?

Liu Mai rolled his eyes.

That's right, although Li Mei is the mother-in-law, it is Shi Dong who is now the worker. As the person who controls the family's economic lifeline, Shi Dong certainly speaks for himself.

Back then, he was able to help Shi Jin work in the fields, and now he was naturally willing to give up the small change and give his son a radio. This was quite understandable.

After thinking about these key points, Liu Mai was immediately happy. This Xiaodong is really an honest person. He will have to deal with him more in the future to see if he can get more advantages back.

Huh, now she wants to see how Li Mei can get away with it!

Now that the radio is with her, Li Mei can't even think about it anymore.

Deserve it!

Liu Mai was very happy now, just waiting to see how unlucky Li Mei would be! As a result, in the next few days, Liu Mei discovered that things were not going the way she imagined at all.

She never imagined that the act of giving away the radio could itself be a reason for defeat.

Different from the situation she imagined where Li Mei was listless and depressed, Li Mei was very happy and still wore her beautiful blue dress and went from house to house.

Every week before, Li Mei would take a radio and go outside under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to play the radio for the villagers to listen to. It was also a rare entertainment project for the villagers.

Now that there is no radio, when the villagers asked, Li Mei readily told him that he had given the radio to Shi Jin as a wedding gift.

"I have seen this kid Xiao Jin since he was a child. How could we show nothing when he got married, so we gave them the radio as a wedding gift."

The villagers sitting around looked at each other and were surprised. Li Mei's stingy reputation had long been ingrained in her. How could she give away such a large object at once?

"Sister Meizi, this radio is such a good thing. You can also listen to storytelling broadcasts and other things when you have nothing to do. Why are you willing to give a child like Xiao Jin... It can't be the request of the old lady at home."

The person speaking was a young daughter-in-law, and only such a young daughter-in-law would dare to say such emotionally unemotional things.

Even if the mother-in-law is making things difficult for the daughter-in-law, she should not ask the question carelessly on such an occasion. How should the person who answers respond?

Li Mei polished her hair with an embroidery needle and said casually: "What's the matter? Isn't it popular in the city now to turn three times and make a sound? Our village doesn't pay that much attention, but since we have the conditions, we have to give it.

Send the child over."

The embroidery needle went through the sole of the shoe. Li Mei explained to everyone while doing the work, "Actually, don't think so much. It's just Xiao Jin who wanted to give his wife some dignity, so he told Shi Dong. Shi Dong and I

As soon as we talked about it, we decided that of course it had to be given as a gift. This is a way to show respect to the new wife, so she must have it! So we gave him the radio."

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone nodded and praised Shi Dong for not forgetting to promote his brothers even when he was rich. He was not stingy at all and was a great person.

Moreover, everyone also picked up on a piece of information in Li Mei's words, that is, Shi Jin first asked Shi Dong for this radio, and then they gave it to him.

How can you ask someone else for a wedding gift?

Everyone makes decisions based on their own circumstances, and what Shi Jin did was really a bit inappropriate.

It's understandable that you want to save face for your wife, but you can't come and ask for it, especially if you have such a close blood relationship. If you ask for it, you have to give it to her even if she doesn't want to give it up. Otherwise, it won't be awkward to get along with you in the future.

What everyone was thinking was completely different from what Yazui was thinking.

Yaizhen didn't give this radio to make a fool of himself. He simply used a gadget that would be eliminated at home soon as a wedding gift.

for.

Yaizhen could remember that when he first entered the city, Shi Jin was the one who reported it to the old lady.

So Yaizhen decided to give another small gift when they got married to make the villagers lively and make the wedding grander.

Moreover, there are still a few months until the wedding, so Yaizhen can prepare in advance.

Because working at the furniture factory went very smoothly and he became a full-time employee without even completing the internship period, so Yaizhen's salary also increased accordingly.

The main reason is that the world is so chaotic. Going out in the car is no different than tying your head to the waistband of your pants. But when you go out in the car like Yaizhen, the safety is greatly improved. From time to time, you can get home a few banners from the local police, plus

Some well-known extra money.

Therefore, Yaizhen is very popular in the transportation team, and everyone is vying to be his partner. As long as you are sure to team up with Yaizhen, then the safety of this trip will be no problem.

Therefore, other people in the transportation team were full of praise for Yaizhen. Even though he is young, as long as he has the ability, can stand on his own feet, and does not hold back, he is a good partner that no one can ask for.

What's the big deal at that age?

Therefore, Yaizhen became a full-time employee without going through an internship period, and his salary was 120 yuan per month, which is already a salary that only experienced drivers can get.

For this salary, Yaizhen pays 80 to everyone every month, and the remaining 40 is given to Li Mei for her own use. The real income that Yaizhen saves comes from reselling goods on the way back and forth in the car.

They are backed by a furniture factory, and all procedures are much more relaxed.

So this time, by taking advantage of the different price differences in different cities, Yaizhen can make a lot of money every time he rides.

Yaizhen is not prepared to work as a driver to make a living. When he makes a lot of money later, this stage is the time to accumulate capital.

This time I took a bus back. Due to the long distance, by the time I got back, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was about to begin.

Yaizhen was counting the time, so he bought a lot of New Year's goods when he got out of the car and went home. As usual, he divided them among everyone, so that everyone could have a happy New Year.

But life is never smooth sailing. Just after the Chinese New Year, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, some relatives I didn’t know very well came to visit me.

What he said was that he wanted to borrow money.

The world is tough. Although the life of Lao Shi's family is getting more and more prosperous now, who's family doesn't have a few poor relatives? So it's completely normal to run into someone who is upset by the autumn wind.

In the past, Lao Shi's family had a large population, and there were many children who had to open their mouths to eat, so no one cared about it. But this year, seeing that Shi Dong has become more successful, he brought large and small bags of things home.

Moreover, a casual inquiry revealed that the wages of the transportation team are quite high. One month's salary is equivalent to half a year's expenses of ordinary people. The Shi family must have enough money, so everyone who wants to borrow money is flocking to it.

But Yaizhen doesn't care about this. If they want to borrow money, they have to take the old lady's route, and he is not willing to take care of it.

Of course the old lady didn't lend her a penny.

Relatives who are out of reach have already paid five bills. Are they coming to borrow money from her?

Think of her, Mrs. Wang, as a living Bodhisattva who helps the world and saves people.

When others cry about poverty, she can also cry about poverty.

The person who came to borrow money didn't know what he was thinking. He said he was visiting relatives, but he ended up carrying half a bag of sweet potatoes and wearing clothes with several patches on them.

Those who knew it were visiting relatives, but those who didn't know thought some poor god came to visit.

What bad luck!

Mrs. Wang suppressed the anger in her heart. It was hard to drive people out during the Chinese New Year, so she could only follow the family routine and talk about how difficult it was for her.

"Old sister, it's not that I don't help, but look at how many people there are in the family! You only saw Xiaodong joining the transportation team, but he is such a young kid and he also gets internship salary, and he also gets an internship salary every month.

Just a few dozen dollars! It’s simply not enough.”

The old lady in coarse cloth didn't take it seriously, but there was a bit of an expression on her face that she didn't care about blessings, "Oh, look at you, what are you talking about? Dozens of dollars? Dozens of dollars a month,

That’s several hundred a year…”

Mrs. Wang took the old lady's hand and was about to tell her her grievances: "Sister, you don't know, even if it sounds nice, how long has Xiaodong been working and how much money can he bring to his family every month?

It only costs more than a dozen yuan.

You also know the situation in my family. There are really too many children. At this age, I am a half-grown man living in poverty. I have to squeeze out the daily expenses by tightening my belt! And I still carry a lot of money at home.

The famine is here! Fortunately, things are getting better this year, otherwise, I might have to go to my old sister to borrow money from you."

This old lady's house is a bit far away from Dahe Village, in a ravine separated by several villages.

The village has inconvenient transportation, so everyone is generally poor, but if you rely on the mountains and eat from the mountains, you will definitely not starve to death.

So Mrs. Wang was not prepared to lend her money at all.

It's not a very difficult situation. Who doesn't live like this?

If you lend the money out, you probably won't be able to get it back within ten years.

To put it bluntly, once her old sister, whom she didn't know very well, crossed her legs and walked away, there would be no chance of getting the money back.

The two old ladies sat in the hall and chatted for a while. In the end, Mrs. Wang was the better at it and she didn't pay any money.

However, he also gave me a bag of coarse grains as a gift.
Chapter completed!
